There is a beautiful Mi’kmaq custom called A’pit’sek’tu’waken (making peace) that frees up a loved one to make the final passage. Join a group of elders for a day of reflection and sharing on the value of making peace and the importance of honoring our loved ones on April 26, 2017.

Former Mawita’mk Society Board Member was sworn in to Parliament in December 2016. Senator Dan is the first Mi’kmaq person to be appointed to Canada’s Parliament.

We had a wonderful gathering on family day at Mawitamk. We shared music, stories, food and played games with Mawitamk members, staff, volunteers, family and friends. Thank you to everyone who made this a special day to celebrate our families.
